c6420 physical console

I have a C6400 with 4x C6420s.  I am trying to connect a physical console to the mini-DP, but I am unable to get a signal.   I have tried a miniDP to VGA (active) and a miniDP to HDMI with no luck.  I have tried connecting before powering on the sled, and connecting after power has been on for a few minutes.

Is this a Dell specific dongle or should this work with any miniDP connectors? 

Thank You

Hello thanks for choosing Dell. What do you see through idrac virtual console? Could you upload some images on that?

Respectfully,

I don't have access to the idrac yet as the dedicated nic was moved to shared on the sfp+ ports.   Is it possible for the idrac to disable the physical console port?

Gmolen,

 

You can indeed disable the MicroUSB management port under iDrac Settings - Settings - Mgmt USB Settings, as described on page 297 here

 

Hope this helps answer your question.
